PRLog -- KARYUDO LLC released PosePause on the App Store and Google Play. One minute of yoga before you open your usual apps. Hold a pose to unlock them. All detection runs on-device—your camera never leaves your phone. The app ships worldwide in eight languages.
PosePause turns the reflex to open your phone into a reason to move your body.
What it doesPick the apps that tend to eat your time—social feeds, video, whatever pulls you in. When you overuse them, they lock. To unlock, you hold a yoga pose in front of the camera. It builds a small pause before you scroll, helping you build healthier screen-time and movement habits.
Features - Yoga-led unlocking: tree pose, warrior, bound angle, chair pose, and more—plus squats and stretches.
- On-device pose detection: the front camera reads your posture and checks whether you're holding the pose.
- Camera stays on your device: neither the video nor your pose data ever leaves your phone.
- Screen-time limits: works with your device's screen-time controls to restrict the apps you choose.
- Activity history: daily, weekly, and monthly graphs to look back on what you've done.
How it works (3 steps) - Pick the apps to limit (social, video, and more)
- They lock automatically when you overuse them
- Hold a yoga pose in front of the camera to unlock
Who it's for - People who want to cut down on phone time
- People who want to make yoga or exercise a habit
- Anyone who wants a system—not just willpower—to change "I know I shouldn't, but I open it anyway."
